The rapid increase in the number of smartphone users has raised concern about the negative psychosocial and physical effects of this use. A descriptive cross-sectional design was conducted to investigate the relationship between smartphone use, anxiety and insomnia among university students. A convenience sample of 404 students from one public university completed questionnaires with items from the Smartphone Addiction Scale, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale and the Insomnia Severity Index, with some demographic data. High smartphone addition scale score was significantly associated with higher anxiety and stress scores of the Depression Anxiety Stress scale, and higher insomnia severity index score. The findings support the importance of an intervention program to promote appropriate use of smartphones and to improve sleep and psychological symptoms such as stress and anxiety among university students.

Background: University students have increased levels of depression and its complications. Aggression is a serious problem among the university students in Jordan, while spiritual well-being is associated with many psychosocial issues. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between depression, aggression, and spiritual well-being among the university students. Methods: A quantitative approach using cross-sectional descriptive-correlation design was used to carry out on convenience sample of 919 students at the University of Jordan. Results:  Almost 55.7% of the university students exhibited some degrees of depression. 51.3% of the students reported high aggression, while 48.7% of the students reported low aggression. The Pearson correlation coefficient test showed positive correlation between depression and aggression (r= .364, p< 0.001), and negative correlation between spiritual well-being and both of depression and aggression (r=-.533, r=-.288, p<0.001) respectively. Conclusions: Depression, aggression, and spiritual well-being were significantly correlated. Psychological counselors, social workers, and teachers at the universities should provide continuous psychological assessment and interventions for the students who reported high levels of aggression and depression. Spiritual well-being should be included in their interventions through various form of community services to enhance the sense of meaning of life, peace, and faith among university students.

Abstract Introduction As dropout from treatment potentially diminishes its therapeutic effect and poses clinical concern, it is important to find out which characteristics of participants are suitable for online-based treatment. Therefore, we aimed to identify factors that predicted a dropout in the e-mail based cognitive behavioral therapy (REFRESH) developed by Stanford University for the purpose of psychological intervention for insomnia. Methods Participants who participated in the REFRESH program consisted of 158 university and graduate students aged 18 to 30 in Hong Kong and Korea who scored higher than 10 on the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and the intervention was delivered in 8 weekly sessions sent via weekly e-mails. Among them, 110 were women (70%) and the average age was 22 (±2.71) years old. All participants were asked to answer the following self-reporting questionnaires before and after the intervention: Insomnia Severity Index; ISI, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21; DASS-21, Sleep Hygiene Practice Scale; SHPS, Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitude about Sleep 16; DBAS-16. Descriptive statistics and ROC decision tree analysis were conducted to address our aim. Results Of the 158 participants, 68 completed the program, and 90 participants (57%) dropped out. The best predictor of dropout was DASS score with an optimal cup-point of &lt;34. Of the 107 participants who reported DASS &lt;30, 70(65.4%) dropped out. In contrast, of the 50 participants who reported DASS ≥34, 12(38%) dropped out. The second-level predictor was expectations for sleep score with a cut-point of &lt;18. Among participants with DASS &lt;34 and expectations for sleep score &lt;18, 57(73.1%) dropped out. Of the 29 participants who reported DASS &lt;34 and expectations for sleep score ≥18, 13(44.8%) dropped out. Conclusion Mild levels of depression, anxiety and stress and expectations for sleep appear to be predictive of dropout in an e-mail based intervention. People with mild symptoms may experience less distress and impairment, which may result in lower motivation to receive treatment. This may lead to inability to complete treatment and higher rates of dropout. Support (if any):

No previous research has examined the association between symptoms of nomophobia and food addiction. Similarly, only a few studies have examined the association between nomophobia and symptoms of insomnia. This exploratory study utilized an online self-administered, structured questionnaire that included: basic sociodemographic and anthropometrics; the nomophobia questionnaire (NMP-Q); the insomnia severity index (ISI); and the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) in a convenience sample of young adults (18–35 years) in Bahrain (n = 654), 304 (46%) males and 350 (54%) females. Symptoms of severe nomophobia, moderate-severe insomnia, and food addiction were more common among female participants both for each disorder separately and in combination; however, differences did not reach statistical significance. For severe nomophobia, the rate for females was 76 (21.7%) and for males was 57 (18.8%) p = 0.9. For moderate-severe insomnia, the rate for females was 56 (16%) and for males was 36 (11.84%) p = 0.1. For food addiction, the rate for females was 71 (20.29%) and for males was 53 (17.43%) p = 0.3. A statistically significant association was present between nomophobia and insomnia r = 0.60, p < 0.001. No association was found between nomophobia and food addiction. Nomophobia is very common in young adults, particularly in females; nomophobia is associated with insomnia but not with food addiction.
